[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1868872, member: 196898"] But first we need to discuss the findings to evaluate if they are or are not rubbish, These are generally trumpeted in the media as being the new truth, and so will attract an audience of believers regardless of whether the reported data is factual or not. Many newbies here will see those headlines and see the glossy videos and be put off trying new techniques. They may even come onto this forum and argue with us about what they have been told by others outside the forum. So the experienced members here have a sort of duty of care to make sure that we try to reach consensus of what can be ignored safely and what we can pick up and run with. As someone who uses LC diet as a tool, the possibility of harm is one I am interested in solving to my advantage. It is important that we identify any weak methodology, or bias, so that pseudo science or vested interest is outed as soon as possible, You say "obvious shortcomings of a flurry of fame chasing researchers" but it is not always that simple or visible, and so yes we do need to spend some time disecting the latest studies and news items. There is plenty of room on the forum for the type of information you suggest we devote our time to instead, but discussions like this one are important to resolve and identify misleading info.
